JoseJalapenos Moon and Space Object Wiki!

Hi, I am JoseJalapeno39, and this is my wiki. At my school, we took a great deal of pictures of the moon, using the MicroObservatory website.
Here is a list of pictures of the moon in all of its different cycles, as time goes by.

10.gifThis is called a Waxing Crescent Moon11.gifThis is still a Waxing Crescent moon!13.gifThis moon is called in its First Quarter17.gifFinally the moon has reached Waxing Gibbous After all these cycles, it changes to a half moon, then to a Waning Crescent once more, and ultimately disapearing for a night, to be reborn again and restart the whole process, in a never ending tandem with the sun and the earth.BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!The moon isnt the only fabulous thing in the sky! There are also nebulas, galaxies and stars filling up innumerable amounts of space!

Isn't this a stunning picture? This is the Orion Nebula, thousands of miles awayorion_nebula_hayden_mckee_.I actually made this picture using, you guessed it, MICRO OBSERVATORY IMAGE. Get it. This is also the Orion Nebula

And even better yet, here is the Andromeda Galaxy, the closest galaxy to planet Earth. It is about 2-2.5 million light years away, which is the distance it would take 2-2.5 million years for light to go, which is a very far distance. So we probably will never get there, but its nice to know it is out there. And this one is really a whopper.

This is an Animation showing three different cycles of the moon, Waxing Crescent, Waxing Crescent, and Waxing Gibbous, taken on November 7th, 10th, and 16th, Respectively. COOL!
OMGIF_Jupiter
In this animation, you can see Jupiter and its Moons. Since Jupiter gives off much more light then its moons, Jupiter appears as a giant streak of light. These pictures were taken on November 11th, 15th, and 23rd. YAY!We have seen a lot of things on this page, from moons, to galaxies and nebulas, to planets right around us. And all this was done without anything but a will, a nifty microobservatory telescope, and a little program called MicroObservatoryImage, available at the MicroObservatory Website, along with the rest of these nifty features, so you can do it TOO!
